428th hopefully I can kick on from here and make top 100 and beat my best finish last season of 108th

Hopefully we can both get there. Big week of matches coming up.

By doing a last minute Sterling to KDB transfer i priced myself out of a Raphinha to Barnes move-got lucky there

manual_man · 28-02-2021 2:25pm

Anyone get Barnes in? Unlucky for those who did

I did. Fairly easy transfer to get a Villa or Everton player now.

No Jorginho again. Easy move to DCL for tomorrow night now.

claw · 01-03-2021 10:56pm

Didn't have enough money for DCL so put in Digne. Finally a transfer that got me more than 2 points!

Ha wish I didn't have the funds! In hindsight, Ricky was a good punt to go for too.

Needed that after Barnes yesterday. Going to hang onto him till they play that Villa back match.

Hardly any change in transfers left from last week in the top 10. Average of 2 transfers used in the last week in the top 100 outside of the top 10.

manual_man · 02-03-2021 5:30pm

13 average for the top 10 is pretty mental. Could mean a few teams with close to 20 left.

The standard is way higher this season I think than it has been before. And I am having my best season this year. Not sure how people can have nearly 20 transfers left!

claw · 03-03-2021 1:06pm

Have a dilemma over getting rid of maybe a City defender or Ederson for Villa coverage. Not sure should I wait till past City's match with Southampton.

I think it's just down to the growing coverage on twitter and the podcasts. Donegal1234 could be his own worst enemy if he's pipped to the post by one of these new kids.

I think the leaderboard is very static at the moment so I think the money winners are coming from that top 10. Everybody seems to be doing the same thing.

Got Martinez in for Sanchez. I should have held onto Martinez at the overhaul rather than using two gk transfers (Pope, Sanchez)

Yeah, similar I almost missed it with work, got in the transfer with 1 min to spare. I think I need to start setting alarms for these

You didn’t miss out on too many points in the end

Yeah very surprised at that result. Saw a stat the other night that Villa have the most away clean sheets in the top 5 European leagues.

I did Martinez for Ederson. Probably should have waited till after next Tuesday.

I guess the captaincy choices today will mix things up a bit

2nd Row Donkey · 07-03-2021 10:33pm

Had Kane in both teams but still picked Gundog and Salah.

I picked Kane in both of mine. Wasn't convinced City would keep a clean sheet even though United haven't been scoring goals. Thinking of offloading a couple of City defenders going forward. Not sure what to do with Salah past the Wolves match.

thunderdog · 08-03-2021 9:39am

I think I’ll get started on shipping out some City players. Looking at Cancelo to Azpilicueta tonight.

Azpilicueta averaging over 9 points a game over his last 8 games

Yeah Azpi is a beast. I'll be getting him in for Dunk as soon as Brighton vs Newcastle is out of the way. Be interesting to see if Christensen keeps his place. Been getting rave reviews and he's only 7.6m. I took the captaincy off Kane yesterday and switched it to Dias. Boy was i punished. Antonio captain today - could really do with him scoring a couple - low relative ownership.

Just listened to the FF hub sky podcast there and it sounds like Donegal1234 also had the captaincy on Dias so you’re in good company there! That’s a tough one to take

Yeah if Christensen starts tonight I might be tempted to also do Ward Prowse to Christensen as well

In terms of Salah, I’m eying up a move to Antonio at some point (unless of course Salah gets a few goals in the meantime!)

I never even considered anyone but Kane to be honest. United have a good record at the Ethiad, there was always a chance something might happen. United are very unpredictable. Wouldn't surprise me if Antonio scored against them this weekend.

There was an argument for Dias. United hadn't scored in 3 games, and had been pretty awful in games vs top 6 this season. Kane on the other hand wasn't in great form, had a pretty poor record vs Palace, and Palace went into to the game on the back of back-to-back clean sheets. The punishment for going Dias over Kane was severe, and not really expected when taking all things into consideration. It is what it is though. I'm not trying to say that Kane was a bad choice - he's always capable of a big return - just that there was a legitimate argument for going with Dias over him. Over the course of a season you really need to find yourself on the right side of a significant number of these decisions to really go up in the rankings. I've probably been 50-50 with such decisions which has been a disappointment. Still comfortably inside the top 1k but top 100 will be difficult now. Could certainly do with some attacking returns from big man Antonio tonight.

I took out Antonio after putting him in my overhaul team so I might put him back in for tonight. I am not looking at covering the captaincy days so much as having form players in my team with decent fixtures. Have to do something to move up the rankings! Have had a very good week to be fair, 100 points so far.
